There was a Genesect-event? Oh well. xD
My opinion on Genesect isn't realy much to brag about, but I don't know if it should be a legendary.
or I could be wrong. I don't know how stron that thing is

Genesect is an utter beast!.
The Greatest known prehistoric Hunter, brought back to life through fossilized DNA and genetically enhanced in that method!.
The bug from the past, killer in the future hunting charazards and dragonites with scarfs and bands bruh.
Its a legendary cause its the ultimate Hunter , i believe it could even take a mewtwo with eease, dem pychic legandaries go nuthing
now that the greatest bug hunter was brought back to life from a fossile <3
Genesect owns bro, Put a scarf on it and with download you can have an easy sweep with ATT or SPA.

:O
how dare you insult the one true Predator/Terminator!
haha jk but whyyyy Genesect is one of the best bug pokemon in existance
his attacking stats are mixed and his ability download basically points out your opponents weaknesses
Genesect is the beast of the century

EDIT: um by the way why is all our bug club stuff not up right now????

Hey guys were aware of the bug errors currently present with our userbars and banners, though it seems that only banners by a specific artist are not working, perhaps an account problem? Anyways, it might be sorted momentarily

It is not a bug, or an account problem.
He just made a new rule(due to the fact that he can't store more images), that every person should upload images he makes on own image server. I did that, you can see on the first page the new ones, so members with the beginner userbars, find your userbar on the first page and use it, the URL is different, it's mine, actually.
Yvetal 96, I got yours as well.
Mine, CM's and Dirkac's userbars were deleted.

I got the new adobe flashplayer and it seemed to fix most of the problems with photobucket stuff but for some reason stuff like the bug type pokemon button still says "Look who's popular, is this your photo? Or something like that

I claim Leafeon, Hydreigon & Volcarona!

alright thank you
is the banner by Extroph just not replaceable?
and the button as well?

Just noticed the problem. I hope it gets resolved soon! D:
As for me I just bought Platinum today and Yanmega and Drapion both have slots on my team.
Hopefully they help a lot on the team and make good spots

Username: TheForestSageFavorite thing about Bug-types? The fact that they are different to all other pokemon and how they started off as the weakest type but now rule OU

Although this is a bug club, I won't say it rules OU, unless you play with Genesect, which is banned with Smogon OU.

I've always wondered when they'll make a cute, small marketable Pokemon and give it to the main girl in Pokemon. For example, when will they give the co-star a main bug type? I know May has Beautifly, but it isn't her main Pokemon. In fact, she ditched it the first moment BF began. Dawn and Iris have yet to receive a bug type Pokemon so far. I've always wondered when they'll give a main bug type to the girl. Example: Piplup to Dawn, Pikachu to Ash.

And according to the universal rules of Pokemon marketing, the bug type must be cute and huggable.

Most people on here regard alot of the smogon rules as the default rules so i would say expect Genesect to be assumed as banned.

Alright everybody, im finished perfecting a bug team and this is it.
I welcome all sorts of critasism. I have all of these pokes in Wifi currently though some are not lvl 100.
This teams used in OU and does remarkably well now that if refined all it spossible tactics
Anyways this is the team.

With this choice scarf volcarona, i can outspeed ALOT of things and with this moveset have a wide array of Super effective moves that could help me out of a sistuation as well as REAP kills with a boosted +6 SPA with a volbeat, or even a normal sun boost from the sun from illumise.

This heracross owns... 1 Quik ko with a megahorn with get you 1+ ATT with moxie boost, and that just amazing with a scarab beetle that already is a massive threat because of its base Att wich can reach 180+ at lvl 50.
Rock slide over stone edge because rock slide has a flinch efffect and is also more accurate than stone edge. Close combat for terrakion, easy K0 their with the scarf outspeeding it.

THis scizor is just for creating havoc in my opponent, if you slap a choice baned scicor against the majority of teams its punch can deliver significat damage and often only dragonites and lucarios with extream speed can counter it well. Ariel ace so that if cn perhaps get a super effective hit on a paralyzed opponent.
This scizor owns lol.

Galvantula is powerfull ay, i think the best spider useable in teh current metagame at a competative lvl. You can either run a Choice specsor scarf, some preffer scarf , but i find Specs to be muccch more rewarding :P
Thunder with compound eyes is awsome especial specd, the rest is obvios ^.^"

Well yeah thats my current bug team perfected on PO and PS and now half constructed completly on wif.
What you think

Your team is largely weak to SR. Illumise doesn't do much in particular, since you already have Volbeat and it's outclassed. Change your Volbeat set to Baton Pass/Tail Glow/Encore/T-wave and replace Illumise with Forretress

Forretress is the only spinner (aside from Armaldo, who gets murdered by Scizor) and provides you with rock support. Here's the set:

On a side note, Crustle also functions decently as a Spikes/Stealth Rock Setter. You can change something for it. But I won't recommend it. However, if you switch Volc to a QD set, you should drop Volbeat since the only one that benefits from it will be Galvantula. If you feel like dropping volbeat, you should replace it with Crustle or Acceglor. Acceglor is also pretty good, since it's really fast and can setup spikes and have good utility moves like Yawn. So yeah, if you're running spikes acceglor, definitely run SR on Forretress.

oh believe me that illumise is not weak -_-
it is one of the only reasons CM beats me in a bug battle
yeah that team is perfected me no like it

Hmm i understand what you mean bro. This team can safly operate without the entry hazer plays and revolve around blocking or setting them up.
This team is more or lesss based around illumise and volbeat as they set up with ease upon my opponents in unorthodox ways.
Its easy to notice that this team is weak against rocks and i use to use a forretress. But i gradually recognized that it wasnt 100% influential as i only ever
used it to lay out rocks and explode..
Illumise is a tank really... it can counter so much and as a bug team, knowing that stealth rocks and even spikes only significantly effect my volc, i can still switch it out 2 times sometimes when i correctly project and aline my hax's.

Believe me hazards are overated, people only use them so that they can gain an advantage.. But with a bug team we have so obvios weeknessess that its almost obvious what you opponent is gonna do to you knowing how to correctly counter that can be ground breaking in battling for a player.
Bug's are really technical, i dont have encore on my volbeat or illumise because theirs other moves that do greater things. Making an opponent locked into a move by encore, MAKEs them switch out, my objective is to stall them so that i can correctly assemble the combination of moves required to take out the poke, confuse ray, para hax and knowledge of when they will actually work is PERFECT for this.
This team was a long time coming ever since i was told about the Sleepingclause.... ( rest in peace shiny venomoth <3 )

I got the new adobe flashplayer and it seemed to fix most of the problems with photobucket stuff but for some reason stuff like the bug type pokemon button still says "Look who's popular, is this your photo? Or something like that

It means that the button was deleted

Yes, unfortunately.

Well, the only way to solve the problem is to order new userbars from him.

As for the good news, I have beaten my Emerald with my Bug team!
Here it is:

Not trying to be rude, but no team is perfect. Also, hazards aren't overrated. The point is that every team carries sr. Your volbeat and illumise aren't safe when Sr is up. I still suggest you try and throw in a hazard / spinner somewhere. Once illumise and volbeat are down, QD Volca can come in and wreck some havoc if it , has 2 QD up. Sr will discourage it from constantly switching in. Believe me, SR and other hazards aren't overrated, or at least imo.

Gonna turn down your battle invitation btw, currently overseas.

I get that they aren't safe from SR but it isn't an issue because they are what starts off the team
so they have little to no concern of it
and if you really fear entry hazards so much, armoldo is great as a spinner and a great attacker
and trust me his team is pretty darn close to perfect

True, its hard to set up those 2 QD though. The majority of pokes i verse have stone egde and if i tried to set up on one of them
it would just be embarrassing lol. Armaldo is good and when breed with for rapid spin its better, but volbeat and illumise can take more hits
than armaldo and just like those 2 unlesss i send them in first their abilitys stuch as sturdy and their items( focus slash ) mean nuthing.
What disinguishes them both from armaldo is the fact that they can individually encopassitate a poke and force your team onto the offensive.
Armaldo is slow ... >.> Battle me some time i can show you :P

Post of the week bro <3

yeah your team is very hard to counter
and the main reason why you beat my ninjask strategy was cuz of your truckin scizor >.>
oh well you run a great bug team and i tried my best and failed ^_^ you are the only person that has beaten that team so far though so props
i don't think there is anything you really need to change

I prefer Beautifly but in a gameplay sense I find Dustox to be better. The main reason is that Roxanne will completely run over you if you're a Beaurifly, while Duetox takes less. In general, I prefer Beautifly for its superior movepool and well... Yeah. I don't hate Dustox, its fine too. Butterfree still is the best though!
